Fully formed hanging low
Swallowed up by the glow
Overcome by the pull it possessed
He felt changes inside
Soon unable to hide
As the moon did it's worse at it's best
An unquenchable thirst
Heart a beat from being burst
Mass assault on his senses and frame
Rolling eyes find a hold
Turning yellowy gold
As the beast stakes his ownership claim
Hunger pangs bring a chill
As he feasts on a kill
In the bone yard his temporary lair
Saturated in blood
Husky coat caked in mud
The result of his predatory flair
All alone with dead deer
Something pricks up his ear
It's a howl and he haunches his back
Running wild in the night
A spectacular sight
Makes his way to the rest of the pack

OH MY GOD! I love this one!! I thought I was the only one who saw or even noticed the full moon!!! This is so descriptive and vivid! I found myself hunting with the pack! Pisces ♓️ Full moon!! That's why all the love and lust poems. Emotions all over the place! All the poets are in their feelings! 😆

Sorry
Not the only one LIZ
Couldn't help but admire it
I don't know what defines a "super moon " as this one is classified
It did seem so much brighter last night
Glad this struck a chord with you
Nothing wrong with scattered emotions
We'd be a bit robotic otherwise
Thank you very much for such encouragement
It's priceless
Yes! It was so beautiful! I actually took a picture but it doesn't do it justice! Supermoon just means the orbit around Earth is oval shape instead of circular. It's rare. You're right, scattered emotions can be a great thing, especially when releasing! As you can tell, I love the 🌙 🌚 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌛
Lol I took a couple of pics also
Not great results
Thanks for the education re super moon
Totally agree
If not released they are caged
Vivid imagery! The magic of the Moon and how it evokes dormant remnants of our Soul or our deepest desires.. Letting our inner out to play has its benefits!
Great write!
All work no play makes Jack a dull boy
I really appreciate reading your input on my writing
Thank you sage
Always grateful
The supermoon in this poem and the description makes me think of a werewolf. Beautiful imagery throughout. Love this poem!!
Well spotted
It's all about being turned by the moon's power

Of the man's body
Thank you for seeing what I'm trying to say Christina
Extremely grateful
I thought this…
All alone with conquered prey
He howls and his haunches sway…
Dead deer , hmmmm
Great lines Bobby
Would definitely have enhanced this write
It is what it is
Doubt you will ever get perfection from this pen
Truly appreciate your honesty
Many thanks
Nuance gets lost in tiny comments, I was so liking the piece I wanted to jump in, in retrospect it was an overstep. Your graceful demeanor shines through with that kind response.

The moon as always being the muse to some of the greatest poets since time immemorial!
Indeed
Thank you Rilla
Hope you enjoyed this one
Truly appreciate the visit
We have always been fascinated by the myth of the wolf howling at the full moon, unable to resist its pull. Your poem, full of mystery and intrigue, paints a graphic and eerie picture with wonderful imagery. Great write!
Thanks Bella
Your support is always inspiring
A great way with words beyond your talent poetry
Much obliged
